Monster recording games aren’t so new, and I fondly remember the horrors of Fatal Frame. To help you avoid early demise, we made a guide about all monsters in Content Warning and how to avoid or deal with them.
How to Survive all Monsters in Content Warning Guide
Each monster in Content Warning is potentially lethal for you and your friends. If you try to confront them directly, armed only with your camera, you’ll be back at the house and restarting your SpookTube career. Fortunately, each monster has its own pattern of movement and behavior, similar to Lethal Company. Knowing how Monsters behave and move can give you enough of an advantage to survive an encounter with them. One more thing: monsters don’t have official names, so I used descriptive names of my own.
Spidey
Spidey is a small eight-legged creature with a flat face and web-slinging abilities. It will keep shooting at you until you slow down enough for Spidey to attack. There’s nothing creepier than a spider with a human face coming to kill you by biting. It does medium amounts of damage, so you have an opportunity to run away before it kills you. Don’t touch its web, as it will aggro the spider onto you, but if you do, run away from it immediately.
Froggo
Froggo is a small, froglike creature with a wide stance and small eyes. It is one of the common creatures, and it’s easy to outrun. It doesn’t like groups of people, so all you have to do is join up with a friend and you should be good.
Mixer Charger
This tall creature with a mixer-shaped head is dangerous if you stand in front of it and it faces you. It charges in a straight line wherever it is looking. You can tell it’s charging to attack by its shuffling feet like a bull. To avoid it, just stray clear of its charge trajectory, and you’ll be good. If it hits a wall, it will get knocked over, so use that time to dodge out of its line of sight.
Patrick the Death Star
This star-shaped creature dwells on ceilings, waiting to catch players who walk underneath it with a rope. It isn’t that noticeable unless you have a flashlight, and it’s easy to fall into its trap if you aren’t paying attention or are getting chased by other monsters. The best way to prevent Patrick from catching you is to throw objects at it by pressing and holding down the Q key to charge the throw. If it does catch you, your only hope for escape is your teammates hitting it with a flashlight or a bone while you are taking small amounts of damage.
Stone Tentacles
This big boulder with tentacles protruding from it seems really scary. It moves really slowly but can use wind currents to pull the players close. Running away is a good tactic, and using walls and corners will prevent this monster from pulling you with the wind.
Snail Assassin
Similar to the Immortal Snail, this creature will keep coming at you once it spots you. It only focuses on one person at a time, so you can easily distract and confuse it. It is pretty slow, so you can usually around it. If it manages to catch you, it will deal medium amounts of damage to you. They aren’t too dangerous, but you can still get killed by them. Especially if there are more around, as I’ve usually encountered them. They could easily corner you if you aren’t too careful despite their slow speed.
Crawley
This is a rarer creature that does significant damage to you. It likes creeping in the dark until it can attack one person and start dragging them away. While doing so, it will keep causing you damage. You can break out, just keep trying to jump and sprint. Crawley hates light, so you can drive it away by shining a flashlight at it.
Captcha Device
This monster is a trap that captures one of the players and forces their teammates to solve the captcha to release their trapped friend. You have around a minute and a half to do it correctly, and you only get three attempts. Solving the captcha neutralizes this threat, and making mistakes will kill your teammate. Keep in mind the differences in keyboards and letter placement, as that issue managed to get my teammate killed. If you are stuck in the cage, you can also get killed by other monsters that are nearby, even if the timer hasn’t run out yet.
Explosives expert
This creature will be throwing explosive bottles at you to try and kill you. It does quite a lot of damage, and it has a big blast range, so you want to move as far away as possible to avoid taking the hit. When you spot the explosives expert, immediately start running in a different direction, or your SpookTube career could be over before you can yell Boom!
Slimy
It is an agile but relatively harmless creature. If it manages to catch up to you and engulf you, you’ll be taken along for a ride to somewhere unknown. You can get out of it by sprinting and moving, which I realized quite a while into the ride. It won’t deal damage to you, but other creatures can, so you’ll want to free yourself as soon as possible. Once you are out, it will slither away, but watch out not to cross its path again.
Gunhead
This is a robot armed with a laser-sighted machine gun. Once you get in its line of fire, it can damage you a lot, so the best way to survive is to stay away from red lasers. It will take around four or five bullet hits for it to kill you. You can sort of dodge them as well, as it doesn’t track you quickly. Go behind walls and duck behind objects to break its line of sight with you.
Van Gogh
This monster has one giant ear instead of a head, which means its perception is based on sound. The best way to avoid it is to move quietly and never sprint. Talking is also not recommended. It will knock you down and deal mild damage to you while also leaving you as easy prey for other monsters in the vicinity.
Shanky
Short ghost-like creature armed with a knife. You can recognize it by its little giggle as it comes charging at you. It will attack you on sight, but if you avoid a few of its attacks, it will run away. It can also jump at you, so try to keep as much distance between you as possible. You can get stabbed a few times before you die, but I wouldn’t recommend taking more than one stab. It’s always better to run away.
